Juan Zaragoza's passion for the dish sparked what has been a 17-year journey that started in the basement of his Southwest Side home.

CHICAGO – For nearly two decades, a family-owned Chicago business has served up both flavor and tradition by building an entire menu around one item: birria, a popular Mexican stew.The dish not only attracts foodies, but also a recent A-lister from the hit show, 'The Bear.'If you ask Juan Zaragoza, you can never go wrong with birria, the traditional Mexican goat-based stew that is a mainstay for natives.

'I just remember him being obsessed with this dish for the longest time, and being the oldest, I had to help him with anything,' said Jonathan Zaragoza.That obsession, which involves 17 ingredients and three days of preparation, was driven by his need to preserve and share tradition. It led to Birrieria Zaragoza in Archer Heights. The family would later open another location in Uptown.
